This report provides a selection of vendors for B2C marketers looking to use a mobile engagement automation (MEA) solution to improve customer experience.

By combining historical customer data with real-time contextual data, marketers can deliver messaging that is human, helpful, and handy”. Forrester also notes in the report that MEA vendors “must be able to deliver on the messaging formats best suited for your customers and align with your broader marketing technology (martech) stack.”

What is the Forrester MEA Now Tech?
Forrester defines MEA as “Technology that uses real-time and contextual insights to proactively engage with known users in the appropriate mobile moment across the customer lifecycle via a mobile device”. The report provides an overview of twenty-five vendors based on market presence and message formats supported.
Forrester states in the report that MEA can help marketers to:
- “Identify the right moments to engage with customers. As marketing becomes a mix of predefined campaigns and ad hoc moments, MEA can help ingest data from myriad sources to weave an understanding of an individual’s context and what kind of message would be most helpful and relevant in that moment.”
- “Send contextually relevant messages. After determining the kind of message that would best serve a customer, MEA can deliver that message through a variety of mobile messaging formats. Most MEA vendors can send push notifications, SMS, and email; some also offer specialty formats such as in-app messaging and mobile wallet messaging.”
- “Engage with customers across the entire customer journey. Mobile devices are an always present customer touchpoint for interactions that go far beyond marketing and acquisition. With MEA, brands can orchestrate messaging that spans the entire customer journey, from acquisition to loyalty.”
